Setting Static IP in guest OS

Post by ackermbe »

I am running Virtual Box 3.0.8 with Vista as my host OS. I am running Windows 7 as my guest OS. How do I set a static IP address in the Windows 7 guest OS? I want this IP address to be different than the host OS address.

You set it the same way as you would do on a native system. Sorry, but this is not a VB question, this is an OS specific question. Because it's outside the scope, I'm locking this one.
